Finding out my boyfriend was only using me for my family’s influence didn't just break my heart—it lit a fire. I didn't want sympathy; I wanted to forget. I wanted a man who didn't care about my last name.That’s when I saw him at the club. Edgy, dangerous, and dripping with ink. With his piercings catching the neon lights and his hair pulled into a messy half-knot, he looked like a beautiful mistake I was dying to make. We didn't exchange names. We didn't need to. The man from the club isn't a nameless stranger. He was off-limits. He’s my professor and the most eligible bachelor in the pack . He’s my ex’s dad. And he’s the only man who has ever made me feel like I’m the one in power.
